[0:00] Tonight, the deadline nears. The
[0:04] president promised that the Obamacare
[0:06] website will be fixed by tomorrow.
[0:08] [music] Cheryl Aerson looks at what's
[0:10] being done to get it up to speed. Call
[0:13] this Black and Blue Friday.
[0:16] Shoppers fight each other for bargains,
[0:19] but Elaine Kihano reports retailers may
[0:22] be the ones getting bruised. With the US
[0:25] Capital Dome facing a major renovation,
[0:28] Scott Pel got a view few Americans ever
[0:30] [music] get to see.
[0:32] >> Wow,
[0:34] what a beautiful view. [snorts]
[0:37] >> And on [music] the road with Steve
[0:39] Hartman, how one word helped save a
[0:42] boy's life.
[0:42] >> He was going to beat this disease.

[1:02] technicians was working nearly around
[1:04] the clock to fix the Obamacare website
[1:07] healthcare.gov.
[1:08] In fact, the site will be down tonight
[1:11] until 8:00 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow
[1:13] for what is being called extended
[1:15] maintenance. That's the very day the
[1:18] White House pledged to have it operating
[1:20] smoothly. The administration had hoped
[1:22] that 1.2 million Americans would be
[1:25] signed up for health insurance by now,
[1:27] but only about 106,000 have done so,
[1:30] according to the latest numbers the
[1:32] government released at the beginning of
[1:34] this month. So, what will happen when it
[1:36] goes back online? Cheryl Akinson takes a
[1:39] look.
[1:41] Just hours before healthcare.gov's fixes
[1:43] are due, nobody can say how well they'll
[1:46] work. Not even John Endgates,
